curate's egg...

as he said to the bishop when asked how was his egg...."good, in parts"...

All the slip decorated pots have problems...ones I haven't had in thirty years of decorating with slip, either earthenware or stoneware.
However the rest are quite nice.




then there are lots of jugs
and at the back of the bottom shelf I put two bowls to re-fire.  I wasn't too worried if they spoilt or got over cooked.....

but they turned out well!   (glaze, "old yeller")

The kiln is looking a bit sicker too- I've photographed the movement in the arch/roof, to compare it with last time, but I think it might have to be re-built inside very soon.

    Love the pots with lids.

    Do you ever do any 'fishy' pots Gwynneth?

    I've got a blue salt pot with a fishy handle...also a white glaze which will take blue brushwork decoration very nicely in a bowl .

    Ah, cwg, inspired by a certain Mr Pratchett, author of the Discworld books....I think the book is "Interesting Times"?

    Thanks for showing your work here...I also noticed you read Pratchett...truly one of my inspirations also! Great looking jugs (does that have a double meaning in your corner of the world also? It makes young girls blush here)

    Barbara, it does have the same meaning(s)!

    You'll know about The Luggage then...I thought that putting shoes on it would be too obvious!!

    Fantastic pottering, gz!

    I do hope the one intended for the dragon jar loves it as much as I, A REAL LIVE DOUBLE DRAGON, does :)

    I'd be quite happy to take it off his hands for him.

    ((hugs)) and xxx
